Skylight Installation and Replacement for Riverbend Homes
Skylights add natural light, but they fail. Most leaks Trill diagnoses on Godfrey roofs trace to skylight flashing rather than the skylight body itself. Old skylights with degraded seals or flashing kits installed by the previous roofer often leak around year 12-15. Trill Roofing installs new skylights and replaces failing ones in Godfrey, Alton, Edwardsville, and the rest of the Riverbend. VELUX, Wasco, and Sun-Tek brands. Fixed, vented, manual-open, and electric/solar models. Flashing kits matched to the roof material and pitch.
What Skylight Work Trill Handles
Skylight services covered:
- New skylight installation: Cut-in on existing roofs. Most efficient as part of a roof replacement, but standalone install is possible.
- Skylight replacement: Like-for-like replacement when the skylight has reached end of life (typically 15-25 years).
- Flashing kit replacement: Many “skylight leaks” are actually flashing failures around an otherwise sound skylight. Trill replaces the flashing kit without replacing the skylight.
- Skylight repair: Cracked glass, seal failure, motor replacement (electric units), or screen replacement.
- Brand options: VELUX (most common, best parts availability), Wasco (commercial-grade), Sun-Tek (budget option).
- Style options: Fixed (no opening), vented (manual or electric), tubular (10-14 inch for closets and bathrooms).
Skylight install timing matters: it is far cheaper to add a skylight during a roof replacement than as a standalone project. If you are replacing your roof within the year and have been considering a skylight, ask about the add-on cost. Illinois IDFPR licensed (#104.020330), fully insured.

Great business to work with. My house, garage and studio now have matching shingles on the roof. Guttering was added to the house. Prompt service and fair pricing.

I am very pleased with the total roof replacement and attic vents installation completed last week by Andy’s crew. Andy was reachable and responsive through the entire process! No question was too big or small! His crew had to stay an unplanned … More second day because of the steepness of my roof. There was not an ounce of frustration shown. I am pleased with the workmanship of his crew! They worked non-stop for two days, well into the evenings! At the end, I noticed a couple things to tweak and they did it without question or hesitation. I would highly recommend them!

Trill Roofing went above and beyond on our roof. I have an old house. The roof had been untouched for many years. Much of the sheathing had to be replaced as well as rafters. In a time when it’s hard to get contractors to show up, … More Trill Roofing was on site, working on my roof exactly when they said they would start. They explained the process and answered all of my questions. I learned a lot about roofing systems.
I look forward to working with Trill on my upcoming siding and gutter projects. -
Andy, at Trill Roofing, is awesome to work with. We had storm damage, which insurance denied. Andy went the distance, he took multiple pictures which confirmed the damage, sent them to the insurance, and they finally approved roof replacement. … More None of the other roofing companies did that. They did an awesome job! Very quick and efficient. We highly recommend them.
